Title: An Improved Variable Speed Gear
Inventor: HUTCHINS THOMAS WILLIAM STAINE
Filed: 1903-03-04
Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 5012. Hutchins, T. W. S. March 4. Dynamos, driving.-Expanding pulleys, mounted in line on one or two shafts or on a shaft and sleeve, are employed for varying the velocity ratio of two pulleys. The mechanism for adjusting the relative diameters of the expanding pulleys may be operated by hand, or by a governor, which could be arranged to obtain a constant speed from a varying speed, as in driving a dynamo from the axle or wheel of a railway vehicle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the pulley 4 is carried by a sleeve 3 mounted on a stationary shaft 1 supported in a bracket 2. A cone 5, provided with radial slots, is fixed to the pulley 4, and interlaces with another split cone 6, fixed to a dished member 7 loosely mounted on the shaft 1. The cones 5, 6 together form a V-grooved pulley. A similar pulley is formed by interlacing cones 11, 14, the cone 11 being fixed to a dished member 8, and the cone 14 to a pulley 13. A rope 15 passes round the V-grooved pulleys, and round guide-rulleys; one of the guide-pulleys 16 is shown, and the position of the other is indicated by the line 17. Each of these pulleys is mounted on a cranked stud 18, adjustable by means of a screw and mounted so as to be free to swivel in a boss 19 on the bracket 2. The hubs of the members 7, 8 are coupled together by a clutch lever 9, projections on which engage grooves in the bosses. Upon sliding the members 7, 8 along the shaft 1, the diameters of the V-grooved pulleys are altered relatively to each other, and consequently the velocity ratio of the pulleys 4, 13 is altered. A screwed stud 21, mounted in the bracket 2, engages bosses on the lever 9. Upon rotating the screw, by means of a hand-wheel or a chain-wheel and chain, the members 7, 8 may be shifted along the shaft. The hubs of the members 7, 8 may be secured to the shaft 1, which is arranged to slide longitudinally for adjusting the relative diameters of the V-pulleys. A belt may be employed in place of the rope 15, by fitting loose rings of \/-section into grooves in the expanding pulleys. According to the Provisional Specification, where a large variation of speed is required, a second set of V-pulleys, facing the first set, may be employed ; two ropes, bands, or belts are required, a spring being arranged between the slotted cones of the second set to keep the belt &c. tight. Friction gearing, or a combination of friction and rope &c. gearing, may be employed for transmitting motion between the V-pulleys, or toothed rings may be mounted in the V-pulleys and toothed gearing employed for transmitting motion.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Exhibiting Advertisements, Pictures and the like.
Inventor: CHALMERS DAVID LOCKHARDT
Filed: 1904-10-31
Granted: 1905-10-31
Abstract: 23,514. Chalmera, D. L. Oct. 31. Optical-projection apparatus. - Advertisements, pictures, &c. are displayed on a suitable screen by means of lantern slides A in holders a, which are attached to a wheel B by suitable means. The wheel is furnished with projections C, which are engaged and driven by an arm G, carried on an intermittently-driven shaft F, carrying pins I. The rotation of the shaft F causes one of the pins I to lift a lever K, pivoted at L. thus moving a shutter N over the lens 0 of the magic-lantern, where it remains while the arm G lifts a dog D, by engaging a pin J, and then drives the wheel B by engaging one of the pins C, thus changing the advertisement. When the pin I gets free of the lever K, the shutter N falls back to its initial position, and the dog D falls over the next pin C, thus holding the wheel B while the advertisement is displayed. The shaft F is driven electrically by the arrangement shown in Fig. 2. A time switch 7 on the arbor of a clock determines for what part of the twenty-four hours the machine shall operate. When the current flows, an electromagnet T attracts an armature U carried on a lever u, which then moves a lever 8 carrying a pawl 9 by which it drives a ratchet-wheel 10, connected to the shaft F. The movement of the armature towards the magnet T lifts a weighted or spring- controlled lever F away from a contact-piece W, thus breaking the circuit, so that the armature and levers return to their initial positions. The shaft F carries oppositely-disposed cam contact-pieces P, Q, upon which work brushes R, S. Cams X, Y, on the arbor of an electric clock or other control motor, place brushes 2, 3 alternately in contact with pieces 4, 5. In the position shown, two branch circuits are closed, through the brushes 2, S, R, and through the brushes 8, R, respectively ; the shaft F is therefcre rotated by the ratchet-wheel 10. When the brush R falls into the notch p, without contact with the piece P, both contacts are broken and the shaft F stops. The rotation of the cams X, Y soon breaks contact at 2, 4 and makes contact at 3, 5, thus providing a path for the current independent of the brush R but depending on the brush S ; the shaft F is then driven until the brush S falls into the notch q, without making contact with the piece Q. The shaft then stops until the contact 2, 4 is restored, when the current can again flow by the two paths through the brush R. The Provisional Specification describes a modification.in which cams replace the-rod H to operate the shutter.
